This article is a case of WP:BLP1E. He was a college football player at a Division II school (ie, smaller crowds than most high school games) who made a human interest story when he had his pinkie amputated so he could keep playing football. Beyond that one event, there is nothing notable about him. B (talk) 05:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Known for one insignificant event does not make a person notable.  GB fan  talk 06:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, clearly failts WP:ATHLETE. What high school games have you been watching?  Division III games that I've seen had large crowds, and I'd expect Division II games to have more.  Nyttend (talk) 12:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * For the 2009 season, the median average attendance for Division II games was 2900. At Mesa St, the average attendance was 1946 per game.  In DIII, median attendance was 1634/game.  Stats are available from .  In parts of the country where high school football is big (most of the south, some of the midwest), 5000 at a game is pretty frequent.  My HS stadium seats around 4500 and it's been a long time since I've been to a game, but the last time I went (almost 10 years ago) it was overflow/standing room only.  (My parenthetical was obviously intended to be hyperbole, though.) --B (talk) 14:25, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't realise the hyperbole, and wherever you are, there's tons more attendance than here in western Ohio. High school football is definitely a leading sport, but we don't have anywhere near that kind of attendance.  Nyttend (talk) 15:26, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep okay, so it's one event... but it's one event covered pretty well in multiple sources. I'm personally okay with this as a stub.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
